I've been canning by water bath method for 30 years and not killed anyone in my family, infact the whole family canned by this method. I brought your book to bring myself up to date and tried some of your recipes and followed your timing and and all the foods went bad. This year I went back to the old book and so far everything is fine. I know some things have changed over time but find your book unreliable.

Stocking Up III is a concise guide for the beginning to experienced home food preserver. All methods are discussed, some in detail. One caution: the canning and pressure canning times need updating.

Stocking Up is a thorough and practical guide to preserving AND cooking. It gives useful recommendations for the best preserving methods for specific foods, with step-by-step directions. Moreover, it gives many imaginative recipes for dealing with seasonal garden surpluses. Why not combine all those fresh ingredients into a hearty soup or main dish (to be savored on a cold January evening) rather than freeze them separately? I would rank this as comparable to the classic Putting Food By.

If you like to cook and want fresh no added chemicals, this book is a must. canning, jams you name it it tells you how.

Great book for canning for the beginner, and good recipies for what to do with the food once you get it canned.

This book should be in all households where one grows their own garden,preserves their own foods, or is interested in self survival. It has some wonderful recipes, ones you would have a hard time finding anywhere else. It is full of how to's that are simple to understand and accomplish.
My favorite is using dried fruit as a flour for baking.

THE BEST BARBECUE, WORCHESTERSHIRE SAUCE AND HOT SAUCES YET. FAR SUPERIOR AND CHEAPER THAN BOUGHT SAUCES.I GOT RAVE REVIEWS FROM EVERYONE WHO TASTED THEM.

This is a must have book when it comes to presrving all types of food.Be it meats,fruits,vegetables,nuts,or grains.Drying,pickling,canning,or freezing this is the bible of preservation of foods.If you are considering the country life or just want to stretch your dollars this is for you.Wonderful recipes and steps to preserving written in a way that anyone can easily understand.

Highly recommended! Covers all aspects of food preservation in easy to understand terms. I bought it ,after having looked at an early volume, knowing I wanted this in my canning library.
